Fujitsu and Twinhead Demonstrate Mobile Hard Disk Drive Durability and Shock Tolerance at FOSE 2004


San Jose, CA, March 23, 2004 — 

WHAT:

Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. (FCPA), one of the world's leading suppliers of hard disk drives and computer peripherals, and Twinhead Corporation, the notebook PC specialists, today announced that Twinhead will use Fujitsu MHT, 4200RPM, 2.5" ATA hard disk drives (HDDs) in a demonstration designed to illustrate the ultra-rugged constitution and durability of Twinhead's notebook PCs. As part of the demonstration, Twinhead representatives will drop and throw the reinforced notebooks to exemplify their inventive notebook design targeted for rough terrain environments in vertical market applications like public safety, military and industrial markets. Twinhead's display screen, hard disk drive and keyboard are all specially designed to operate under the most adverse conditions.

Fujitsu's MHT HDDs are designed to deliver high shock tolerance (900G, 1 ms, non-operating; 225G, 2 ms operating) for lasting performance. Additionally, intelligent power management technology reduces power consumption to as little as 0.1 Watt in sleep mode -- resulting in a dramatic improvement in the time that can be spent away from a power outlet. Twinhead offers everything from an entry-level ruggedized notebook for the first time buyer, to muscular, full-featured notebooks designed for the mobile professional.  

FOSE, which is held each spring in Washington, D.C., is the largest and longest-running technology tradeshow for government professionals.
